Having someone called Fields as the 3rd corner and still shutting a team down is no easy feat.

SemperFeist Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Jeff Gladney is being overshadowed, and rightfully so, by Justin Jefferson, but he’s having a very solid rookie season. Over the past few weeks, he’s really picked up Zimmer’s defense and he’s been doing more and more both on the outside and in the slot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was combining then in my head and thinking it was Chris Fields. It's a good sign that they must not have talked about him a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) The defensive performance last night (yes, the Bears do have a terrible offense...in fact, it's not even terrible in execution, it's terrible in scheme and design) is why Zimmer is here. Like I heard Leber say last night in the post-game show, imagine what the defense will look like next year with Hunter, Barr, and Pierce back.

Just isn’t reliable. Dantzler and Gladney are locked into two of the three spots. Hill and Boyd likely keep the 4th and 5th spots unless Fields and Jones shine. They are throwing a lot of young bodies out there this year and that is good for the future. Id still look to grab a CB in round one if a good shutdown caliber type falls to the mid to late first round. Not sure Gladney or Dantzler will develop into a Rhodes type at his peak type. And the defense really needs that, in addition to a DT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s a sure thing. Especially if these young CBs impress down the stretch. Maybe Hughes would make it over Hill, but if either fall all the way down to #5 on the depth chart, why not cut ties (I’d assume maybe a trade) to keep other young CBs who don’t have expiring contracts like Fields, Jones or Boyd. Just seems there’s limited upside in having a first round bust as your 5th CB. But maybe Hill is more on the bubble than Hughes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's possible that they trade Hughes, because due to his talent, he may still bring some draft pick value (albeit late round) even with his injury history. I personally think trading him is far more likely than just outright cutting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
